Some of the strongest points made in favor of the tax are actually about protecting cities, but Representative John Waldron says cutting the tax wouldn’t impact the budget of cities since it goes into the state’s general fund.
“Municipalities also have their sales taxes, this would not be affected by a cut in the state’s grocery tax. I’m sure the state can find a way to balance its budget without having to levy more taxes on the backs of working moms trying to feed their families,” he said.
